文塔Icenorum（凯斯托-诺里奇）镇是在弗拉维王朝早期建立的，是罗马人对布迪坎起义的反应的一部分，这一观点已成为罗马不列颠文学中的典范。根据最近的发掘结果，本文重新评估了与街道网格的建立有关的证据，并质疑了该镇反映了城市规划的连贯性的想法。它的结论认为，以前的解释网站内的“布迪肯”范式是根本性的缺陷。
Abstract The idea that the town of Venta Icenorum (Caistor-by-Norwich) was laid out in the early Flavian period, as part of the Roman reaction to the Boudican revolt, has become canonical in literature on Roman Britain. Drawing on the results of recent excavations, this paper re-evaluates the evidence relating to the establishment of the street grid and questions the idea that the town reflects a coherent act of urban planning. It concludes by arguing that previous interpretations of the site within a ‘Boudican’ paradigm are fundamentally flawed.
